A clear, established and harmonious legal framework is crucial for the operation and scaling of any emerging industry, and this is no different for greenhouse gas removals (GGRs). The framework for GGRs is not a bespoke area of law tailored to GGR activities, but rather a complex landscape of pre-existing bodies of law applicable to particular GGRs or parts of GGR value chains. Based on 31 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in governments, industry, and the research community, this report serves as the first comprehensive review of these diverse bodies of law in the UK. It explores the common legal challenges across all major GGR techniques currently being developed in the UK and looks at potential solutions.
